Born Today?
A reading for your birthday. Leo season.
The apparent ease of California life is an illusion, and one frequently purchased at the instance of considerable nervous tension.
Joan Didion
Your Year of Showing Your Work. This is the year you stop making it look effortless and discover, with some delight, that the real thing is more interesting than the polished version. You have been quietly extraordinary for longer than anyone has counted, and the year ahead has a funny way of making that visible without your having to announce it. A project in spring rewards the kind of sustained, unhurried effort that is completely invisible until it suddenly isn't. By autumn, someone watches you work and asks the question you've been waiting to answer honestly. The gap between what you carry privately and what you let others see begins to close on its own terms, at its own pace. Pride, it turns out, is quieter than vanity and far more satisfying to live inside.
